The colorful small turtle is omnivorous, mainly eating aquatic plants, small fish, beetles, and daphnia in nature. In captivity, feed specialized turtle pellets plus moderate small fish, fruit, and vegetables for balanced nutrition.
In addition, they need large amounts of calcium to maintain a healthy, growing shell, so owners should supplement calcium during keeping.
